The Fourth of March, 1861
Lincoln Inauguration
No Attempt at Resistance by the Mob
The long-looked for and anxiously expected day, the 4th of March, has arrived and departed and Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin are now President and Vice President of the United States. It is with a sense of relief that we pen these words. Well-grounded fears had for some time been entertained that foul means would be used to prevent the inauguration of the People's choice, but thank God, the danger is over, and the country now breathes freer. Let us hope that this happy state of affairs may continue, and we never again be called upon to behold such a Reign of Terror as preceded the new era.
The eventful morning was ushered in by a slight rain, but the weather was cool and pleasant. The city was thronged by thousands upon thousands, and all the space in front of the Capitol for acres was early crowded by a dense mass of human beings. The greatest excitement prevailed, but everything passed off quietly and in good order.
During the delivery of the Inaugural which commenced at 1 1/2 o'clock, Mr. Lincoln was much cheered, especially at any allusion to the Union.
The usual oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Taney. This inauguration makes the eighth ceremony of the kind in which the venerable Chief Justice has officiated, he having successfully administered the oath to Presidents Van Buren, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln.
Annexed is President Lincoln's Inaugural Address. Its tone and temper is firm; and though not very satisfactory to compromisers and secessionists, it will meet with a hearty response from the true
friends of Union and Liberty everywhere. [speech not transcribed]
Washington, March 4, 1861 - Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet is as follows:
Secretary of State: Wm. H. Seward of New York.
Treasury: Mr. Chase of Ohio.
War: Mr. Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania.
Navy: Mr. Welles of Connecticut.
Postmaster General: Mr. Blair of Maryland.
Secretary of the Interior: Mr. Smith of Indiana.
Attorney General: Mr. Bates of Missouri.
These appointments have been confirmed by the Senate.
Steam Saw-Mill Burned
On Saturday night last, the steam saw-mill in Summerhill township, about two and a half miles from Portage station, owned by Jonathan Robinson of Altoona, was completely destroyed by fire. The fire
occurred about two o'clock A.M. on Sunday morning and as the fire in the engine room had been extinguished at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, it is presumed to have been the work of an incendiary. We understand that threats to burn the mill had been made during the week. The property destroyed is estimated to have been worth $2000. The machinery was much damaged. The mill was a new one, Mr. Robinson having just completed the erection of the machinery. No arrests have yet been made but it is to be hoped that the perpetrators of the dastardly deed will be brought to justice.

While walking on her porch, which was covered with snow and extremely slippery, she fell and fractured her left leg. The fracture was immediately reduced, and the patient is now as comfortable as circumstances admit.
Contract Awarded

The terms of the contract have not yet been made public. The building is to be completed against the first day of June, at which time the road is expected to be in complete running.
Pen and Ink Sketch of Mr. Lincoln
The following sketch of Mr. Lincoln is given by the correspondent of the New York TIMES who accompanied the Presidential party on their late journey from Springfield to the Federal Capital.
The mental, moral and physical conditions of Mr. Lincoln are matters which interest the entire country, and I propose to glance for a few moments at them for the benefit of those exercise concerning them, and wind up for today. For a period of two weeks it has been my duty to be near and about him almost continually. No one of the most ordinary caliber could fail in that time to form with tolerable correctness an estimate of any person, much less of one whose position and future demand close scrutiny. I am satisfied that Mr. Lincoln is far above the ordinary standard of human capabilities. His mind works clearly, quickly and with great directness. He is a shrewd judge of character, can penetrate the film of mannerism and polish and detect at a glance the sincerity or double intent of those who approach him. In spite of the great draught made upon his thinking powers since last May, he has brought to the present exigency one of the most unprejudiced, calm, philosophical and vigorous minds to be found in the country. "Honest Old Abe," was all very well for an electioneering rally, but "Shrewd Old Abe," is much more to the purpose about these days. He cannot be fooled, he cannot be led unwillingly, and he cannot be swerved from an opinion of the honesty and policy of which he is convinced.
Mr. Lincoln is not what is technically known as a "Christian," - that is, he does not hold fellowship with any particular Church, has not made any public profession of faith or announced his adherence to any sect or dogma, - still he is a good man. He does not sit in the seat of the scorner, nor does he walk with the ungodly or run riot with the pleasures of the world. "His word," say his neighbors, "is as good as his bond, and his note needs no endorsers." He is truthful, regular and temperate. Tobacco and strong drinks are tabooed from his bill of fare. He is generous and open-handed, he loves the good and despises the evil, and has never yet been detected in a meanness, a profanity or a breach of honor. He professes to entertain a profound conviction that this country is in the hands of God, the Maker and Ruler of all men, that all things are ordered by His hand, and that to Him alone can he, as President of this people, look for aid, guidance and ultimate success. If these things are so, what better leader do we want?
Physically he is a remarkable person. Strong-limbed, strong-boned and sinewy, rather than muscular, he can endure great fatigue with wonderful ease. To many he seems ill, or at best, greatly worn. This is not the case. He sleeps well, eats regularly and relishes the constant labor that is put upon him. The multitudinous hand shakings, the incessant bending of the body, the everlasting small talk, and the long, long ride from Springfield, though temporarily wearying him, have put flesh upon his bones and he stands today as a heavier man than when he left his Western home. Just at present he feels unsettled. Hotel life does not agree with him and he is anxious to be settled, with his family all about him, where he can shut out inquisitive bores, welcome those who love him and attend uninterruptedly to the business which he finds at hand.

Infanticide in White Township
The Cambria TRIBUNE of last week gives the particulars of a shocking case of infanticide that recently occurred in White township, this county. The facts are about as follows: A young unmarried girl, only sixteen years of age, named Ann Hartzel, who resided with a family named Smith, loved not wisely but too well, and on Monday evening, the 4th inst., was delivered of a child. Unwilling that the world should know her shame, the unhappy mother resolved to make way with her illegitimate offspring; and accordingly she concealed in under a pig-pen on the premises, intending doubtless to remove it to a place of greater security at her convenience. But Mr. Smith and two companions who were returning from church had their attention attracted by the cries of the infant, which was still alive; and after a brief search, they drew forth the baby from its hiding place. It was taken into the house and properly cared for, but owning to the injuries it had
received, survived but about nine hours.
In the morning a Coroner's inquest was held upon the body and the facts developed that the back part of its head was crushed, its back broken and marks found upon its neck as if an attempt had been made to choke it to death. The girl admitted the maternity of the child, but denied having done it any violence. After a careful hearing of the facts, the jury rendered as their verdict that the child came to its death by violence at the hands of its mother, Ann Hartzel.
The unnatural mother was brought to this place on Tuesday and was committed to jail to await her trial at our next Court.
The Question Settled
At a meeting of the officers and members of the Ebensburg and Cresson Railroad Company, held on last Monday, it was definitely determined by a unanimous vote of those present that the location for the depot for the road shall be on the western side of Centre street, a short distance below Triumph street; in other words, about three squares south of the old Academy. This is about the most eligible situation that could have been secured, it being nearer the centre of town than any other point. It is easy of access from all directions, and likewise, a great consideration, there is plenty of room in that vicinity for the town to spread itself.
Mr. Evan E. Evans, the gentleman we mentioned last week as having received the contract for the erection of the depot building, has already commenced work in that direction. He expects to push his job forward to a speedy completion.
The Evacuation of Fort Sumter
From the Editorial Page
The news of the probable withdrawal of the United States troops from Fort Sumter, says the New York INDEPENDENT, flashing by telegraph all over the land, has profoundly affected the public mind of the country.This lowering of the national flag in the face of the barbarous bands that beleaguer it - this conspicuous and undeniable confession of defeat by the National Government - this surrender of a post so important and so strong to the revolutionary Government which now rules at the South- - it is, to say the least, immensely unfortunate that such should be the first prominent public act of the new Republican Administration. We have all confidence in the wisdom and the manhood of the gentlemen who constitute this Administration. Their fidelity to Freedom is altogether unquestionable. We know that they have had the whole case before them, while we see only its more obvious features. The mature judgment of General Scott should be of rights most influential, if not indeed, a controlling element in their deliberations. And if it has become, as is now alleged, a military necessity, there being no longer any possibility of re-enforcing the fort and the alternative to surrender being simply the speedy starvation of the garrison, then the event is not only to be submitted to, as Death itself must be when it comes, but it is to be attributed to the late Administration, which neglected its duty when it might have been performed, not to the present one, which had no possible chance of performing it.
But the fullest explanations will be needed to satisfy the patriotic and resolute men who compose the great mass of the voters at the North that such a necessity has existed. They will demand to know, they have a right to be informed on what basis the persistent representations of Major Anderson that he needed no further supplies, have been founded. And they will claim to know at least that the various modes of reaching and re-enforcing the fort which have at different times been suggested, and which hundreds of men have been ready to take part in, have been severally considered and proved impracticable, before they will be satisfied that so single and stupendous a sacrifice should have been made for the dignity, prestige and strength of the Government. Unless
it shall be plainly shown that its hands were not manacled only, but really paralyzed by circumstance, the indignation will be well-nigh universal that this key to the gate of South Carolina should have thus been relinquished.
The effects of this surrender on the minds of foreign nations can hardly be overestimated. Their prompt recognition of the Southern Confederacy whose path has been so early strewn with a succession of triumphs, is hardly too large or too important a result to follow logically from it. Its effect at home, unless counteracted by prompt, wise and efficient action in other quarters and a different direction, cannot fail to be disastrous. It is the most unexpected and prodigious
national humiliation known to our history. It seems to offer license to rebellion, and to put the largest premium upon treason. Unless it be speedily followed by measures positive and emphatic in distinct affirmation of the rights, purposes and power of the Government, we shall have no longer any Government, except for such as are too lazy to question it, or too timid to withstand the most empty of menaces. There will be nothing left for insurrection to fear; nothing left for patriotism to cling to. The old flag will trail in the dust so that the very swine may run over it. Our national airs will become the merest souvenirs. The Revolutionary blood will be shown to have turned to the thinnest of milk in our degenerate veins. We had better bow down all at once to the Hotspurs at Montgomery and entreat the congress there assembled to let us come into the manlier and more stalwart confederacy, which they have inaugurated. An immense responsibility will rest upon those who have advised or consented to such an act. From it they must go, either forward or backward; making it the last step on the path of submission and national surrender or else making it the first step on the path towards the full and cordial recognition of the Southern Confederacy. Standing disconnected from one or the other of these policies, a simple acknowledgment of complete defeat and ignominious expulsion suffered by the Government, the significance of the event will be fearful; and we shall be fortunate if the consequences of it are not anarchy at home, and the loosening of all the feeble restraint that hitherto have surrounded the rebellious elements in Northern cities, with a more profuse and prolonged bloodshed and battle with the stimulated South, made haughtier and fiercer by this vast success, in the near Future.

Volume 2, Number 32
Fort Pickens
The country is sick at heart over the necessary withdrawal of
Anderson from Fort Sumter. It had better stop crying over what can't
be helped, and spend its time in preventing a similar humiliation at
Fort Pickens.
Says the New York TRIBUNE: If not relieved in six weeks from this
time, Fort Pickens will have to be abandoned just like Fort Sumter, and
for the same reason. Fort Pickens and its approaches are being
gradually commanded by sand batteries. If it be not forthwith
garrisoned and provisioned for a siege, it cannot be done at all. It
must be surrendered without a blow; for the United States must suffer
no defeat. If the Government cannot maintain the position, it ought to
yield it up without a struggle. If this be done, the Confederate States
will become one of the nations of the world and the United States of
America will cease to be a first-rate power.
We know that the Administration does not contemplate this, for in
that case, it would as disgracefully betray the country as did
Buchanan. As it does not propose this, it must mean to maintain the
integrity of the Union; and to this the holding of Fort Pickens seems
to us absolutely essential. The only question, then, is what is
necessary to accomplish that purpose. The first step is to garrison
the fort, and provision it, forthwith to its utmost capacity. But this
is not all. When garrisoned and provisioned, it will still be attacked
by the revolutionary forces under competent officers. No matter how
full of men the fort may be, a siege is a mere question of time. After
a few weeks of battery in breach, its walls will be a heap of ruins and
the besieging forces will mount to the assault. For garrisons and
provisions alone will not secure the fort nor the dignity of the United
States.
The siege will be successful unless it is raised. It can be raised
only by a superior land force driving off the besieging force. Three or
four thousand men can take the fort by the regular process of a siege
in three or four weeks from the opening of the batteries, if
undisturbed. But five or seven thousand men will at once arrest their
proceedings, and drive them from the siege; all their works will be
destroyed and their battering trains taken by such a force. The United
States must therefore instantly begin to organize this force to raise
the siege of Fort Pickens.
If this work is begun at once, the revolutionary authorities will be
driven to adopt one of two courses. Either they must abandon all idea
of a siege and leave the fort unassailed or they must hold in readiness
a force of five or six thousand men to support and cover the siege
operations. To this the United States must be ready to respond by ten
thousand men, which will still suffice to raise the siege. Thus it will
become, like the siege of Sevastopol, a real trial of strength between
the two parties.
The revolutionary States cannot possibly raise and arm and support
and concentrate at Pensacola as many as 50,000 men; their whole
population is not sufficient; and at least one half of the population
is for the Untied States and will refuse to bear arms and cannot be
trusted to bear arms for the purpose of attacking the United States in
its own fort.
But no matter how many men the revolutionists can assemble, it is
certain the United States can assemble, arm, support and pay, two to
every one the revolutionists can concentrate and maintain on the spot.
The revolutionists will therefore either be driven to withdraw their
military force or to see it destroyed. If they withdraw, their
prestige is forever gone and the people will rise on them and expel
them from power, and the Union is maintained. If they fight their
whole military strength will be crushed on the sands of Pensacola,
without one act of violence or injury or war against any but those
actually in arms assailing the United States troops, and the people of
the Gulf States will at once put down the revolutionary usurpation and
the union is maintained. . . .
The Home Squadron of the United States
It would appear that the Home Squadron is in a much more efficient
state and more nearly ready for service than has been generally
supposed, considering the success attending the efforts of Mr.
Buchanan's traitorous secretaries to disorganize the naval and military
defenses of the country in almost every department of the service. The
list comprises 26 vessels, carrying 190 guns, and 2,757 men, almost all
ready for instant service and all but three or four in the port of New
York. This is the largest naval force ever concentrated in one
squadron since the organization of the United States Navy. It consists
of more ships than the Channel fleet of England. It is obvious that
important naval movements are in contemplation by the Government.
Editorial Notings
A horrible murder was committed in Juniata county a couple of weeks
since, by two men, who entered a house and shot an old man named Henry
Akers, for the purpose of robbing him. They obtained only a few
dollars for their pains, however. The murderers were arrested and
lodged in jail.
Local and Personal
The TRIBUNE says that it is generally believed that Isaac E. Chandler has the inside track for the Post-Officeship of Johnstown.
The steam grist mill in Blairsville, belonging to Mr. Adam Shurick, together with its contents was destroyed by fire on last Wednesday. Loss about five thousand dollars, insured for three thousand dollars.
At the annual election for officers of the Cambria Co. Ag. Society held on last Thursday, the following result was had:
President: John Evans (Smith)
Vice Presidents: Jacob Luther and William Murray
Managers: E. Glass, Alex. McVicker, Wm. James, John E. Roberts - A. A. Barker and E. J. Mills, a tie vote.

Our Common Schools
From Col. James M. Swank, our efficient County Superintendent, we have received an advanced copy of the result thus far of his official labors. The document being too lengthy for publication entirely in our columns, we give an abstract:
During the six weeks in which he has been acting in his present capacity, Mr. Swank has visited twenty-one of the twenty-six school districts in the county; (the schools in the remaining five districts had been closed before he could visit them). Of the twenty-one districts visited, two had closed their schools before his visit. In the remaining nineteen districts the schools visited numbered about forty. He believes that but four or five unvisited schools are now in session and these are scattered throughout the county.
The visitations having closed for the winter, Mr. S. will now engage his attention on the subject of the organization of permanent Teachers' Institutes in every section of the county. The suggestions of teachers upon this subject are solicited.
A monthly report of the operations of the County Superintendency is required by the State Superintendent for the information of the department. Besides this, Mr. S. purposes, from time to time, to inform the citizens of our county, through the public press of the local operation of the office.
Mr. Swank is proving himself to be eminently fitted for his present post and we are rejoiced to know that in his hands the great cause of Education will be safe.
License Notice
The following Petitions have been filed in the office to be presented to the next argument Court:
Tavern Licenses: Peter Masterson, Thomas Short, Peter Adams, Jr., Andrew Beck, Henry Harber.
Quart License: Wm. Bott & Co.
